coMpliAnce with evideNce-based cliniCal guidelines in the managemenT of acute biliaRy pancreAtitis): The MANCTRA-1 international audit. The results of this study showed an overall poor compliance with evidence-based guidelines in the management of ABP, with wide variability based on the admitting speciality. Study protocol registered in ClinicalTrials.Gov (ID Number NCT04747990). |

Clinical Outcomes of Patients with LI-RADS 3 or LI-RADS 4 Observations in Patients with Cirrhosis: A Systematic Review. LR-3 and 4 observations have elevated but variable risk of HCC. Higher quality studies are necessary to identify high-risk patients who warrant close CT or MRI-based follow-up. |
| Pancreas |
The Impact of Pancreatic Enzyme Replacement Therapy on Patients With Advanced Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma: A Systematic Review and Narrative Synthesis. Patient and health professional education is required because there seems to be a general lack of awareness about the use of PERT in pancreatic cancer. Systematic Review Registration: PROSPERO 2020 CRD42020195986. |

Intake of mother's milk by very low birth weight infants and variation in DNA methylation of genes involved in neurodevelopment at 5.5 years. In-hospital % MM intake by VLBW infants was associated with variations in DNAm of neurodevelopmental genes at 5.5 years; some of these DNAm variations are associated with brain structure and IQ. Clinical Trial Registration ISRCTN35317141 at isrctn.com and NCT02759809 at clinicaltrials.gov. |

Combined liver transplant and sleeve gastrectomy: report of a brief-interval staged approach. This proof-of-concept study revealed that a brief-interval SG during LT is feasible in patients with high MELD and resulted in sustained weight loss at 1-year with similar graft survival. Further studies are needed to determine an optimal strategy. |
Outcomes of Acute Liver Failure patients listed for Liver Transplantation: A Multicenter Prospective Cohort Analysis. Post-LT outcomes for ALF are excellent in this cohort of very ill patients. The development of multi-organ failure whilst on the transplant list and APAP ALF etiology were associated with a lower likelihood of successful receipt of LT. |

Neurofibromatosis Type 1: A Rare Predisposition for Gastrinomas and Other Neuroendocrine Tumors. Zollinger-Ellison syndrome is an important condition, which should be kept in mind in the patient with NF-1 who presents with recurrent peptic ulceration and diarrhea. The emerging association between these 2 conditions is being examined on a cellular and immunohistochemical level. |

Pancreatic exocrine insufficiency following pancreatoduodenectomy: A prospective bi-center study. This prospective study found a high incidence of PEI after PD with persisting symptoms in one-to two thirds of al patients. Limited attention was paid to vitamin deficiencies. Improved screening and treatment strategies for PEI and vitamins need to be designed. |
